Solved Windows says that the cable is unplugged every morning

[vsub]

I don't know what's wrong(few days left until it becomes one year since I'm using this pc and win7 and till now I didn't have any problems)but every day this week when I turn on the pc,the icon at the lower right says that the cable is unplugged.

My setup is modem=>wifi routher=>pc using cable
If I unplug and plug the cable,then it start to work
When I turn off the pc and turn it on after 9-10 hours(when I come back home),I still have internet but on the next morning,I don't

If I connect the wifi adapter while it still says "unplgged",then I have internet

Replacing the cable might be a reasonable place to start.

 

[vsub]

That could be a problem(~10m cable)but how can the cable be the reason if:
1.Unplug=>plug it make it work
2.The cable is not touched at all on both ends
3.It happens weirdly at the same time(no internet in the morning=>no problems 10 hours later=>no connection 5-6 hours later)
4.Never had this problem even on my old pc and I'm using this cable more than...I can't even remember how many years
5.No problems at all when I "fix" the problem

 

[cyclops]

OK vsub, think clearly and review your statements. #4 can't remember how old the cable is. If you own a car, do wait until the brakes don't work before fixing them or do you fix them when they make some strange noises?

 

[vsub]

Ok but can you explain how can the cable be the problem if I don't have any internet related problems after I unplug=>plug the cable.

The cable is not that cheap here to get it just to see if that was the problem.

 

[cyclops]

The wires inside of your cable are made of solid core copper. Over many years of flexing, bending and being walked on or pinched by closing doors over them, the copper becomes weakened and breaks. A very small point of contact at the break point may allow for data to be transmitted, but eventually the connection becomes to weak to transmit that data. Often times just a wiggle is enough to re-establish that minute connection and data transmission continues until the next time the tolerance of the weakened connection fails and data can no longer flow.
Another analogy for you vsub. Shoes protect your feet and are not cheap to replace, but do you wait until your feet are sticking out of the bottom of the shoes before you buy new ones?

Try this.
When you turn off your computer, also turn off your modem and router.
Boot your router and modem the next morning and then your computer.
See if that changes anything. What we are looking for is a heat related problem. Could be a router, modem or a cable connection.
I have no knowledge of how the I.S.P.'s work all over the world but have you contacted them.

Cables can have poor connection that will cause heat. Over time it will break the connection. I don't know where you are located but where I am cables are about the cheapest thing you can buy when it comes to computers. I personally have extra cables for just about everything. One never knows.
Their are many things that can cause your problem and cables would be the cheapest to replace first.

Good morning LaybackBear.
Per to OP's #1 statement, (few days left until it becomes one year since I'm using this pc and win7 and till now I didn't have any problems).
I guess the warranty expired pre-maturely.

 

[Layback Bear]

I read that but I'm not sure what it means.

Has it been almost 1 year using the system and the problem just started.

Or does it mean the computer has been sitting for almost 1 year and vsub just started using it again.

 

[cyclops]

Leaves a lot to be said for paying close attention to the lesson being taught while studying grammar.

We have members from all over the world and English might not be their native language. Or it could be like me not having enough coffee.
On my first cup this morning.

Yesterday I tried to connect the cable directly to the modem and this morning,the unplugged icon appear for a second and then it switched to the normal icon but the "Set Network Location" dialog appear

 

[cyclops]

you need to click the icon and select your network and then click on the connect button in that window. Please post a screenshot here.

The "Set Network Location" is normal. The computer was connected to a device that was new to it (new MAC address).

It sounds like the Wireless router that you had the cable plugged into at the start of this thread might be the problem. Can plug the computer into a different port/jack on the Wireless router?

When the computer has no network connection (before you disconnect - reconnect the cable) is there a light on the cable jack on the computer?

I didn't check(it's hard to see because the pc is next to a wall).
I connected it to the second port\jack of the router and I'll see what will happen tomorrow(like I said,once it started to work,I can't make it not work even after restarting\turning of the pc)

I have no idea why this happens only when I turn on the pc for the first time the next day...it's like the router\modem does at certain hour

Both devices are always on but the pc when I turn it of is almost completely off(all components)because of my bios settings

Also I don't have connection to the wifi router(192.168.0.1)when that happens

 

[cyclops]

vsub, probably not a good idea to try any troubleshooting with a cable plugged in at the same time you are trying to diagnose the wireless problems. Having both devices attempting to create a link simultaneously is going to wreak havoc on the computer and you.

When the computer is functioning normally, turn out the lights in the room and wait a few seconds for your eyes to adjust. The light on the computer's jack might be strong enough to reflect off of the wall.

In the morning, see if that same reflection can be seen.

Is there a light on the router end of that LAN cable?

I'm not positive that knowing the status of these light will help. I'm hoping that other forum members can make sense out of their status as it relates to your issue.

 

[vsub]

The light on the router side says that the cable is connected...I'll check the light at the back of the pc tomorrow morning if I have the problem again

cyclops the wireless adapter is not connected to my pc,I just connect it once to see if there is internet by using the wifi

 

[vsub]

I have no idea what to think now. This morning I remembered that no light is working while the pc is off,only for the lan card is blinking on interval(per 20-30 second or more and this was always like this) I also remember that when I turn on the pc the icon stays unplugged but it's changed after 1 second...this happens always and now. This morning I didn't have any problems and the only thing I did yesterday was to connect the cable to the second port of the wifi router(I have 4)

 

[UsernameIssues]

That is strange - but good that things worked.

Let's see if it keeps working.
